Privacy Policy — Qibla & Prayer

1. Developer identity

Qibla & Prayer is developed and published by Seyed Tork Larki, trading as Larki Apps, an Australian sole trader.

Country of operation: Australia.

Support contact: binarywhisper.apps@gmail.com

2. Information used by the application

Qibla & Prayer is designed to provide Qibla direction and prayer-time functionality with limited information needs. Depending on how you use the app and which permissions you grant, the application may use:

• location information (when permitted) to calculate prayer times and Qibla direction;
• device capabilities related to sensors (such as compass or orientation features, where available) to help indicate Qibla direction;
• settings you choose within the app, such as calculation method, notification preferences and manually selected location details;
• technical information that may be processed by your device operating system or app store as part of normal installation, update and notification delivery.

This policy describes the developer’s intended use of information within the application. Device operating systems, app stores and other third-party services may also process technical information according to their own policies.

3. Location permission

Location permission may be requested so the application can calculate prayer times and Qibla direction based on your approximate or precise location, depending on the permission granted by your device.

You may also choose a location manually. If you deny location permission, features that rely on automatic location may be limited or unavailable, but manual location selection may still allow the app to provide calculations based on the location you enter.

Location information is requested for prayer-time and Qibla calculation purposes. The developer does not sell location information.

4. Notifications

If you enable prayer notifications, the application may use notification permissions provided by your device to deliver reminders according to your settings.

You can change or disable notification preferences through the app settings and/or your device system settings. Notification delivery may involve technical processing by your device operating system.

5. Local device storage

The application may store preferences and related settings locally on your device. This may include items such as selected calculation methods, notification preferences and manually chosen location details.

Locally stored information remains on your device unless you clear app data, uninstall the application, or otherwise remove it using device controls.

6. No user account

Qibla & Prayer does not require you to create a user account to use the application. The developer does not operate an in-app account system for this application.

7. No advertising

Qibla & Prayer is offered as a free experience without advertising. The developer does not use in-app advertising networks to display ads in this application.

8. No sale of personal information

The developer does not sell personal information collected through Qibla & Prayer.

9. Optional PayPal support link

The application may include an optional link to PayPal so that users who wish to support the developer can do so voluntarily.

Any payment made through PayPal is processed by PayPal. PayPal operates independently under its own privacy policy and terms. The developer does not control PayPal’s processing of payment information.

Optional support payments do not unlock application features and do not provide digital benefits within the app.

10. Third-party services

Your use of Qibla & Prayer may involve third-party platforms outside the developer’s direct control, including:

• device operating systems (for permissions, sensors, storage and notifications);
• app stores such as Google Play (for distribution, updates and related technical processing);
• PayPal, if you choose to use the optional support link.

These services may process technical or transactional information according to their own privacy policies. This Privacy Policy does not replace those third-party policies.

11. Children’s privacy

Qibla & Prayer is not directed at children under 13. The developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this application. If you believe a child has provided personal information to the developer, please contact the support email listed below so the matter can be reviewed.

12. Data retention

Preferences and related settings stored locally on your device are retained until you change them, clear app data, uninstall the application, or otherwise remove them using device controls.

If you contact support by email, correspondence you send may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry and maintain ordinary business records.

13. Security

The developer takes reasonable steps to protect information under the developer’s control. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please use appropriate device security practices, including keeping your operating system and applications up to date.

14. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. When changes are made, the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised. Continued use of the application after an update means you should review the revised policy.
